Thanks Rusty

As you can read, it has been a long week with very little sleep, full days of work, and visits to the doctor. Rusty got me these flowers and I thought it was really sweet (and they are really pretty).

Thomas' bathroom is finally finished

Thomas' bathroom is so much smaller than Frances', but took forever. My dad helped (really I helped and he did most of the work) take down the wallpaper (which I loved, but had to go because it was starting to peel off), prime, paint, sand etc. Mom helped me find a painting for the room (it is the same lady who did the paintings for Frances' bathroom). Anyway, here you go (the only think I have left to do is to finish the curtain-it needs a stripe of fabric.





I did get the sailboat painting from the same lady that painted the two paintings in Frances' bathroom. I also got the painting below. I thought it was cute.

week in review

Ok, thank goodness it is the weekend. We did finish out our week at the doc (yep, fri, mon, tues, wed, and fri). 8 medicines later, I think we are on the road to recovery. Everyone actually slept last night and no waking folks up for treatments. Both kids are on medicine for ear infections as well as three medicines for their lungs. Nothing like giving your kids a little steroid before bed and expecting them to go to sleep. Oh, well. Tonight we go to meet Boo and Wildcat for dinner for Boo's B-day.

Frances likes to cover Peanut - You can tell how much she likes it by her face.

Here we go again

Things were going along pretty well until Frances got sick so I took her to the doctor on Friday; I jumped the gun, so they just said she had a cold and sent us home. Well, it looks like when the kids have a cold their systems can't handle it so they turn into asthma attacks. After a late night and a rough trip to the doctor, Frances is back on treatments every four hours (2 of the treatments are double and take 25 minutes). It is so much fun waking a two year old twice in the middle of the night to have them .....Little T ended up having issues on Tuesday so back to the doctor. He is on medicine for every 6 hours and 2 of them are double. They both have another liquid medicine they take twice a day and we went back again for follow up... and they added another medicine for Frances. Good times.

The daily meds (There is actually one bottle missing)

Tonight we were over at Christine and Bob's and all I can say is click on the Crutchfield Family Blog Link.........it is fantastic! I can't say much because for a while Frances couldn't say our friends' dog's name, Buffet, it came out sounding like Bulls**t. Kids are so much fun and very entertaining at times.

Great weekend

We had a great weekend. We dropped the kids off at Boo and Wildcat's on Thursday because we were going to run Friday and head out of town. Yep, you heard me, I am running now. Have to get rid of the baby weight (i am so not the cute pregnant lady like christine and jean ann- i am more a mix of the good year blimp and Michelin tire man) and it is the only way. Anyway, it was a rough trip out of town. We got stuck behind a train depot that they were moving. Of course, you should move a train depot at 9 on a Friday down a major road (it takes up about 5 lanes and it goes 1/3 mile per hour). We turned around and hit a little more traffic on 85, but had a fantastic time once we made it to Chapel Hill. Bob was one of Rusty's friends from Richmond and he also swam with him. It was a really nice wedding! Kerry did a fantastic job and paid attention to every detail from the rehearsal dinner through the wedding.

Frances is in school full time and loving it. She has a bigger playground, is learning spanish and even has ballet classes. You should see the meals they get.

Thomas is with mom full time and loves his Grandma and Granddaddy. Today I was a little late after getting Frances and he refused to even look at me. He loves the water....Here is a usual bath night with the little screamer.

Just hangin out

It has been another crazy week. The kids and I headed to Rusty's Aunt's house for dinner on Tuesday (Rusty was stuck at a trial). We were able to see Matthews, Kristen, Elizabeth and Cecilia down at Boo and Wildcat's on Friday. I must say that Cecilia is so quiet compared to her cousins until meal time. It is so funny, you have to just keep shoveling food her way or she starts to scream.

Saturday we headed to a pool party for Frances' class. Yes, she is moving on to the 2's (big girl room and full time). You should see the room and the playground (they also take Spanish, Ballet and Aerobics). All I can say is WOW- what a house! We had a great time. They had older kids too who just loved babies. They wanted to give Thomas a bottle and before we knew it the 11 year old had Thomas asleep-Awesome. We then grilled out at Christine and Bob's pool with the folks. Sunday Rusty and Bob went to the Brave's game (they said it was sooooooooooooooo hot- they sat right behind home plate in the sun). Of course, we were off to dinner with Christine, Bob and Ansley.
